Poorly dad

storynanna . I do hope your Dad recovers well. My one suggestion is to consider whether there are any specially designated departments/wards for people who have suffered a stroke either in his existing hospital, or others.
When my Mother had a stroke, once the shock to her system had subsided, she was moved to a special stroke unit, where intensive physio. made a significant difference in her recovery.
The sooner this starts the better.
Wish all best best.

Get on to the Stroke Association and ask them to send you an advice pack.Good luck and my very best wishes.

Sending best wishes for your Dad's recovery, storynanny

Wishing your Dad and your family the best outcome. ((((hugs))))

storynanny (lovely name) I am so sorry to hear this. I do hope he recovers soon and that you have people around to support you and him

Not got personal experience story nan but do wish his full recovery and sorry you going through this.

Our lovely intelligent kind daughter had a stroke about 3/4 years ago, I still have the e-mail my son in law sent to all who knew her - written in the early hours of the first day, after we had left her in the care of the hospital staff, the next day she was totally not with us, and we were all so convinced we would have to look after her for the rest of her life. The following day she was sitting up in bed, and has not looked back since, returned to her old job, but taking it very easy. She was of course younger than your dad, but I regularly check the e-mail my son in law composed on that night of worry, just to remind me how awful it was, so I know how you must feel. Good luck to you and your dad, and find out as much as you can about strokes and how to cope, it helps.

storynannyI'm so sorry; there is a great deal that can be done following a stroke so try not to feel too overwhelmed. and (((hugs)))
